Digitizing our '66 Chevy | BANKS BUILT Ep 23

The Banks team 3-D scans the front end, wheels, tires, and chassis in the raised and lowered positions in order to model all components Solidworks. This will allow us to design the front engine accessory drive (FEAD), intake air system, and hood hinges in the computer, precisely. Although setup time is increased, designing these parts virtually will dramatically reduce fabrication time. It also ensures that everything will fit right the first time. We then scan the bed and merge the inner and outer sheet metal into one unit. In theory, this will allow us to cut the bed in half in the computer and design the dump bed structure, and know it’ll work before we even turn on a cutting tool.
